Timothy WHITTON “My Dad was a bus driver”. The 2016 mayoral elections in London In May 2016 Sadiq Khan became the first “British” Muslim to be elected mayor of a European capital city, ushering in a new era of politics in London which will undoubtedly contrast starkly with the respective reigns of Ken Livingstone (2000 – 2008) and Boris Johnson (2008 – 2016). To his great pride, Livingstone had defied and to some extent beaten both Thatcher and Blair becoming the first directly elected mayor of London in May 2000 after running as an independent candidate.1 He renewed his victory in 2004 with the success of the Congestion Charge, this time round as New Labour’s candidate, but lost in 2008 to Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson and in 2012 when the incumbent piped him once again to the post.
